About Girls Rock! DC: With a base in music education, Girls Rock! DC aims to create a supportive, inclusive, and creative
space for girls, non-binary, and trans youth of varying racial, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds; abilities; identities;
and experiences to develop their self-confidence, build community, stand up, and rock out! Following in the footsteps of girls rock
camps across the United States, Girls Rock! DC was founded in October 2007 by an all-volunteer collective of DC metro area musicians,
teachers, artists and community organizers. http://www.girlsrockdc.org/

The Meer creates a unique sound from elements of heavy psychedelic, indie alternative, dark, introspective, and straight forward minimalist
rock. The Meer has played hundreds of shows across the six states surrounding the DC metro area, at venues such as Rock and Roll
Hotel, DC9, Ottobar, countless house venues, and many others. They strive to uphold strong DIY ethos, and promote a supportive
community for independent musicians everywhere.

Pop punk power trio Ménage À Garage (MÀG) has become known for “crushing venues across the region with their heavy, yet simple, melodic
rock beckoning a return to the music of previous decades.” MÀG’s 2016 submission to NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest was selected by WAMU’s
Bandwidth as one of DC's "top 10" submissions. In November 2016, MÀG released the four-song “Throw My Doubts on the Fire” EP, recorded
at Inner Ear studios. The song “You Get the Wiser” is featured on Skunk Roundup’s 2017 compilation, “Bummer Summer”. You can find MÀG
on the major streaming sites: Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, and Google Play, and on magrocksdc.com.
New music coming spring 2018.

More AM Than FM is a fiery rock 'n' roll trio from the DC metro area. Selena, Anjalee and Mel came together from the ashes of previous
musical efforts and found their niche amongst the chaos of the rock 'n' roll cosmos. With a great fondness for the sound of the blues
traveling through an overdriven amplifier, an affinity for the good old melancholy days of punk and a dissatisfaction for the common
